Use eth_hw_addr_random() instead of calling random_ether_addr().
Here, this change is setting addr_assign_type to NET_ADDR_RANDOM.

The Coccinelle semantic patch that performs this transformation
is as follows:

@@
identifier a,b;
@@

-random_ether_addr(a->b);
+eth_hw_addr_random(a);

Note that this patch is compile tested only and I have used file
drivers/net/ethernet/hisilicon/hix5hd2_gmac.c as a reference.
Also, original call didn't make assignment to NET_ADDR_RANDOM. So,
it would be good if someone can test this change.
